Lucky bamboo: which is better, planting in soil or growing in water?

Most families grow a little lucky bamboo; it has good symbolism and is easy to care for. But most lucky bamboo people come across is grown in water, because it is clean and low-maintenance. For lucky bamboo, growing in soil is actually better.

Friends who grow lucky bamboo in water will find that although water-grown lucky bamboo does grow, its growth rate is not as fast as you might imagine. It is not that your method is wrong; it has a lot to do with the growing medium. Once soil-grown lucky bamboo settles in, it grows very fast. After all, only by constantly growing can a plant show its vitality. The difference between soil culture and water culture lies in the effect of light on the plant's root system.

Growing lucky bamboo in soil is very simple: just take the lucky bamboo out and stick it into the soil as a cutting, and it will survive. Much of the lucky bamboo sold on the market is first propagated and grown in large quantities in soil, and then transplanted into water for propagation.

Soil culture is very good, but once the plant starts growing wildly, some problems can still appear. Once it grows well, the space between the lucky bamboo leaves will naturally widen, which affects the plant's appearance. So after the lucky bamboo has grown for a while, pinch off the top to control its growth. The lucky bamboo grown this way has a beautiful overall form. Friends who have not yet tried growing lucky bamboo in soil can give it a try.
